To all w 7mm it may; concern ie it known thatl, Fussunn .Pan citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough (If Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and rm-- proved Belting and Process of ill linking the Same, of which the following is a iiull, clear, and exact description. This invention relates belting" and the method of making the same, the belting being especially useful as an inner belt to be worn by women for the purpose of holding down the shirt waist and supporting the skirt, the belting having its opposite laces covered by rubber which, in the process of making the belting, is given a roughened surface so as to provide a tenacious grip on the shirt waist and skirt. Obviously the belt can be used on trousers to engage and hold the shirt down when an outer belt is used to support the trousers. Furthermore, the belt can be used for garters, and in. fact it may be used for driving belts and other purposes.

The invention has for its general objects to improve and simplify the construction of belting and the method whereby the same is produced, so that the manufacture of the belting can be carried on inexpensively, expeditiously and in an efiective manner.

In carrying out the invention a plurality of strips of fabric or tapes are laid upon an endless apron or conveyer and fed by the latter through and between calendar rolls which apply to the entire group of feeding tapes a coating or facing of rubber, whereby a coherent web is produced which, when completed, may again pass through the calendar rolls in such a manner as to apply a rubber facing to the other side of the tapes. This sheet or web is then wound on a mandrel simultaneously with a roughening or iIn pressing element, such as a strip of South Sea. lsland'duck, the meshes of which serve to make impressions in the rubber facing-s of the tapes in the vulcanizing process. After the rubber-covered tape web and duck are wound on the mandrel the roll is covered by a damp cloth and then placed in a vulcanizer so that the rubber will be cured, and during the vulcanizing process the rubber will not only be caused to firmly adhere to the tapes, but the outer surfaces of the Specification of letters Eatcnt.

claim as newand desire to secure by Letters" Patent:

1. The herein-dscribed method of making roughened rubber-faced fabrics, which consistsin applying a rubber facing to a fabric body, applyin' a woven impression ele inent imcontac't with the rubber facing, vulcanizing' the rubber-faced fabric While in contact with the ,SZLIdIIDPFGSSlOII element,

and finally separating the said element from the vulcanized/rubber facing of the fabric.

2. The herein-described method ohmahing a roughened rubber-faced fabric, which consists in" applying a rubber facing in the form of, a single sheet to a plurality of fabric strips, applying an impression element in contact with the rubber facing, vulcanizing contact, applying a rubber facing to all the the rubber-faced fabricwhile in contact with said impression element, and finallyxtearing the adjacent strips of fabric apart? 3. The 1 herein-described methbd of roducing a roughened rubbe1'faced belting, which consists in supporting a plurality of fabric strips side by side with their edges in strips so supported, whereby the strips and rubber facing form a coherent-web, apply-- ing a woven impression element to the entire outer surface of the rubber facin'g, [vulcanizingthe. web while in contact with the impression element, and finally severing the rubber facing of the web alongvthe' edges of the said fabric strip.

5. The herein-described method of roducing a roughened rubber faced'beltlng, which consists inapplying a rubber facin to a fabric strip, winding the rubber-face strip and a woven impression element together on a mandrel, vulcanizing the rub her-faced strip while in contact with the impression-element, and finally separating the impression element from the vulcanized nally separating adjacent .6.
